Indians suffer considerable heartburn year after year at the Oscars after failing to win any of the awards up for grabs. This year, however, an engineer from Mumbai's Mulund area, has brought some good news home.

Vikas Sathaye on Saturday won an Academy plaque for innovating a camera system that has been used in numerous Hollywood blockbusters. The camera mount is said to be such that it can be attached to the base of a helicopter and its main function is to eliminate vibrations for a steady footage, according to a Times of India report.
